The county from where she was supposedly missing ran a story about missing people on February 1, a story that included Bekah, and this one woman was like, “Hey, that’s the short-haired chick from The Bachelor!” Specifically: “If it was any of the other girls, I wouldn’t have thought twice.

Fuller and Green had already written the first six episodes of season two, with sources noting Fremantle planned to toss those scripts and start from scratch with Alexander. In addition to budget concerns, sources note Gaiman was also unhappy with the direction Fuller and Green planned to take season two as their vision was not a straight adaptation of his source material.
